Absolution

She has been through hell. He has clawed his way out of it. When Erica “Ricca” Delmont learns she has a younger brother in foster care, she is determined to put her life on track so they can be a family. A new city, a new job, and an excuse to run from her feelings for the man she will always want but can never have. It sounds like the perfect new beginning…until it’s not. When Jude “Ratchet” Azzo returns home and finds Ricca has taken off, he is ready to burn the world to the ground. Angry and frustrated and determined to have her, Ratchet pulls out all the stops to win her heart and to help Ricca bring her brother home. If only it were that easy. Come hell or high water, she will be mine.
